His Net

[Charley Scarborough]

Please join us for this weeks His Net round table discussion, conditions permitting.  We'll be meeting on 3802kHz +/-5kHz for QRM at 7AM ET, 6AM CT, 5AM MT, 4AM PT Wednesday morning.  We'll move to 7285kHz +/-5kHz for QRM after 5min if conditions permit or if we're unable to establish contact on 80m.  This dual frequency plan is to insure initial contact without falling back to the phone while giving us the option to use the best frequency.  Looking forward to hearing you there.

The long awaited day when Bob joins us on the radio arrived this morning and I'd like to congratulate him one getting his portable RV radio on the air.  The 80m band was okay this morning, although I was the only one who could clearly hear Bob.   Conditions on 40m were not good and we were unable to hear distant stations.  So Bob was clear as a bell at my place, but Dennis couldn't hear either of us.  Check-ins were:

AC7LU Charley Net Control
KD7MLX Sheila
KD0TTF Dennis
WH6UO Bob - Near my cabin in Wyoming

Charley's internet is out.
Radio conditions on 80 meters were fair this morning. Bob was
broadcasting from Colorado Springs. Charley could talk to both Bob and
me but Bob and I were not able to talk to each other. We tried 40 meters
but conditions were poor. Switched back to 80 meters. Conditions started
deteriorating around 6:15 central time as the sun was coming up.
Check ins were:

Not very good this morning for the Texas net; hope it is better for us in the morning. I printed out the lesson for today and will plan to participate. I think I left the book back in New Jersey but will listen and try to remember what I read.

QRZ.com said conditions were not that great this morning.  Which book are we talking about and what are you hearing on the Texas net?  I listened a little one morning, but keep forgetting to turn on the radio.

Thy Kingdom Comes.

Yes, I also forget to turn it on and get busy with other higher priorities. I just listen to the locations of the different stations. The radio is getting easier to tune the more I use it.

See you at 6PM mountain on the call.

[Charley Scarborough]

Did you mean to say, 5AM MDT?

[Charley Scarborough]

Band conditions were not that great this morning, but both 40 and 80m were usable and all stations checked in on both bands.  Signal fading was a problem on both bands thunder noise was a problem on 80m as well.  Check-ins were:

AC7LU Charley Net Control
KD7MLX Sheila

KD0TTF Dennis
WH6UO Bob - Near Colorado Springs,CO
KD6HNN Ken - Guest check-in from California

Charley AC7LU

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

No, thought you might be on the study call last night. Good to hear you and Dennis this morning. Guess I will experiment by putting the cap hat on and see how that works with you and Texas net over the next week or so.

[Charley Scarborough]

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

If you are still awake, my daughter is going into elective surgery this morning. I covet your prayers for her.

[Charley Scarborough]

It looked like no one was going to check-in this morning.  Turned out Dennis pressed the wrong button on his radio and couldn't use it until he dug out the manual and did some studying.  Bob overslept and got on the air just as were were about to call is quits.  He wanted to let everyone know his daughters surgery went fine and to thank them for their prayers.  We were not able to get through on 40m, but 80m seemed to be great morning although thunder noise was heard in the background.  Check-ins were:

AC7LU Charley Net Control
KD7MLX Sheila
KD0TTF Dennis
WH6UO Bob - Near Colorado Springs,CO

Charley AC7LU

[Charley Scarborough]

[Charley Scarborough]

The 80m band was usable, but noisy with lots of thunderstorm noise or QRN.  We were not able to make contact on 40m and returned to the 80m band.  Check-ins were:

AC7LU Charley Net Control
KD7MLX Sheila
KD0TTF Dennis
WH6UO Bob - Near Colorado Springs,CO

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Charley,

Currently near Davenport, Iowa. Will listen at 6am central time 3.802 and about 5/10 after go to 7.285

If nothing I will have Skype on if I can connect to internet.

--

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Heard you best on 80, maybe 3/4, then barely on 40. Maybe we should add 20 for next time as it was best.

[Charley Scarborough]

Neither band was really usable this morning, although I was just barely able to check Bob in on 80m.  He claimed he heard me on 40m, but I didn't hear him.  Check-ins were:

AC7LU Charley Net Control
KD7MLX Sheila

WH6UO Bob - Near Davenport, Iowa

Charley AC7LU

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

20 was very high on the scale, do you think we should add it as a 3rd option?

Bb

[Charley Scarborough]

We might try 20m, but Dennis and I have never been able to make it work
between his place and mine. It's a day/night year round band, so we
don't need to do it during the early morning net. If you'd like to see
how it works, lets arrange a test time when Dennis can be on the radio.
The problem with 20m is you might be crystal clear for the guy 1,200
miles away while your signal's skipping right over the guy 500 miles away.

Thank you Brother, great witnessing experiences through all this.

[Charley Scarborough]

The 80m band sounded pretty good on my end, but too noisy to use on Dennis end.  We were not able to make contact on 40m and migrated to the phone.  Check-ins were:

AC7LU Charley Net Control
KD7MLX Sheila

KD0TTF Dennis

Charley AC7LU

PS. Sounds like WH6UO Bob must have make it through his surgery okay.

[LivingNetwork]

Some people wanted me to have gallbladder surgery years ago because I was having gallbladder attacks regularly.

I did a cleanse and have not had any trouble for almost two decades.

Just thought I would share

[Charley Scarborough]

The 80m band was crystal clear for me this morning, but Dennis was barely able to hear me as usual.  Guess he still hasn't figured out if he has receiver problems or local noise problems.  We make contact on 40m as well, but the band conditions varied between crystal clear to barely readable as the signal faded in and out, so we moved to the phone.  Bob's phone didn't answer.  Check-ins were:

[Charley Scarborough]

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Brother Charley,

I will get the antenna up today and prepare for tomorrow morning at 7am from New Jersey. Don't expect to hear you but hope so. Do you want to add 20m for the 3rd 5 minute segment in case favorable conditions are present there or just 80/40?

Health update; still have drain tubes and think it will be slower recovery than I first thought. Dr. said I should be able to sail to Key West this fall.

Brother Bob

[Charley Scarborough]

Glad to hear you'll be on the air Bob.  Dennis will be much closer to you, so even if you can't copy me you might have a shot with him.

Might be a good idea to see what we can do on 20m if 40 and 80 don't work.  It's usually a fairly crowded band though and we'll need to find a clear frequency.  Might be better to coordinate our first attempt over the phone.  If successful, we'll need to do some checking around to set up a permanent frequency should we decide to add one to the net.  Will worn you ahead of time, 20m is the worst band for my antenna.

Ok, you choose the frequency. I may have to wait until morning to raise the antenna because it is raining and lightening right now but may clear before dark.

I was able to hear Dennis clear as a bell on 80m this morning, but his reception problems seem to have deteriorated to the point he's unable to hear me at all.  I was able to connect with Bob in NJ on 40m, but we fell back to the phone when nether of us could communicate with Dennis.  Check-ins were:

KD7MLX Sheila

Somehow I have managed to change my smartphone startscreen and cannot get it back as of now. Hopefully we can talk on Skype if necessary with campground WiFi from trailer in storage.

[Charley Scarborough]

[Charley Scarborough]

Dennis and I were able to communicator on 40 and 80m this morning, but reception was still difficult for him on 80m.  Bob said he could hear us both, but we were unable to hear his calls from NJ.  We tried to pick Bob up on Skype, but even that failed us this morning.  Check-ins were:

Dennis and I were able to communicator on 40 and 80m this morning, although 80m provided the best copy.  Bob is back at the VA hospital in Philly for something related to his gallbladder and is hoping to be back the air next week.  Check-ins were:

Conditions were pretty tough this morning and Dennis was just barely able to copy me on 80m and not at all on 40m this morning.  Bob was unable to copy either of us on either band, but did let us know he tried on the phone.  Check-ins were:

Poor band conditions this morning.  No contact on 80m.  I did hear Dennis on 40m, but we were not able to converse with him.  Bob emailed us to let us know he heard both of us on 40m, but I was unable to hear him and was unable to get a contact report from Dennis.  Check-ins were:

The 80m band seemed great to me this morning, but Dennis could just barely hear me.  Sounds like he my be bringing his radio by at the end of the month to see if we can figure out what the reception problem is.  The 40m band didn't work at all.  Check-ins were:

Hi Charley,

Going to bible study tomorrow and since we are not connectimg, it seems OK to me.  I have started working on the boat electronics and should have the HF radio checked and perhaps working by next Wednesday but surely the one following.

I have the same Icom 706 in the boat (and an Icom M802) with the AT- 140 auto tuner hooked to the backstay. Just have to check it out along with doing numerous other things. May have to try to get a counterpoint worked under the floor.

Lots of electronics, radar, chartplotter, weather, compass, etc to check. Also got the wind vane steering delivered today to the campground, so that will also be installed. Lots to do before the end of October, but think it will be doable

I won't be back at the boat until next Monday so I may not have it ready next week.

God bless and pray all is well

Hi Charley,
Will there be a call on Wednesday?
Dennis

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Hey guys,

I thought last night about the call and also about the men's bible study at 7am. Well, this morning I forgot about both as I was getting ready for the day and praying and studying. So many prayer needs. Hadn't turned on the phone so missed the Skype call if you did one.
Pray all is well and hope to connect next Wednesday at 7am.

Brother Bob

[Charley]

Sorry about not sending a notification. Internet connection has been
down since Saturday. Not sure how much longer to get it repaired, so I
made a trip to the library. I called the net as usual this morning and
no one checked in.

Charley

[Dennis]

I called in this morning and but not hear you
Dennis

[Charley]

Internet still out and I'm at the library again. Will try to call the
net Wednesday morning at the usual times and frequencies.

Charley AC7LU

Charley,

I'm going to the 7am men's bible study. Working on boat radios and hope to be online soon there. When I experiment and am getting out I will try from the boat at 7am.

Internet was finally repaired at noon today after being out for 12 days.

Check-ins this morning were:

AC7LU Charley
KD0TTF Dennis
KD7MLX Sheila

Band conditions were not very good. I could tell Dennis was on 80m, but
could not understand him. I heard nothing on 40m. Doesn't seem like our
current comm plan is working for us and we need to do some experimenting
to find something that'll work better. Probably daytime on 20 or 40m is
where we need to be looking. Anyone else interested in scheduling an
experiment day where we try to make contact every 2hr?

Charley AC7LU

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Charley, Dennis,

I could probably do that depending on ​when. I will be working in the campground here in New Jersey maybe this Friday for a few days and that is where the trailer with the HI-Q is parked / stored, so it would be easy to check every two hours on that radio. I am working on grounding at the boat and have not finished checking out the radios and auto-tuners yet. Don't know when it will all get done but I'm workin' on it. Eventually I'll try the long wire on the boat with the auto-tuner. You'll know when I get closer. Whenever you decide to try to schedule the new net timing checks, I'll try to make it work.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say I used everything You gave me.

[Dennis]

Farming has slowed down. I am available most days except Sundays.
Dennis

[Charley Scarborough]

Sounds like Dennis and I have more flexibility than Bob, so I'd propose we take advantage of Bob's Friday opening.  How's a 7AM MDT start time sound to everyone with a net call on odd hours?  I'd propose an initial call on 7850kHz on the hour followed by a 12222kHz call 5 minutes after the hour with everyone sending a comm report back to the group after each attempt.  We might have to adjust this depending on interference issues as the day proceeds.

Charley AC7LU

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Charley,

Ok, will do. 9AM EDT 7850khz then 12222 @ 9:05 and then report our experience and then @ 11am, 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm do it again.

Has there been anyone respond from the East coast that I might listen for? If so, I could call for/as relay if necessary.

I'll set the alarms. Please confirm this is accurate.

73, Brother Bob, WH6UO

Hey Dennis (/Charley), I am also a member of ARES here in South Jersey and they sent out a hurricane watch for the new hurricane Mathew coming up the coast, and included several out of band frequencies and I was wondering the protocol about that.

Can you explain that or call me at (856) 200-5883?​

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say I used everything You gave me.

[Robert Joseph Glaser]

Just called a friend and he said we cannot be out of frequency (I think he means for Tx) so maybe it is for listening only? What say you?​

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say I used everything You gave me.

Must have been too early.  Meant to say, 7,285kHz and 14,222kHz.

Charley

[Charley Scarborough]

I think your friend is correct. Sorry for my typos and glad they were
caught early.

Charley,

I'm not getting any reading with low power, cw mode @7850, which seems outside the bands, adjusting the radio antenna from top to bottom.

What's up?
